Bradtke Putting in the Hard Yards

This bloke is the most intriguing prospect on our list IMO. Decent chance he never plays a game, but could be absolutely anything.

 

Looks like a boy in the photo

Hopefully he can learn to play football.... seems crazy to say that about a player on an AFL list.


Now one swallow does make a summer but the games I saw him play last season suggested to me he has a very long way to go before he is a good VFL player let alone higher. IMO the kid needs another 2-3 years at Casey. Patience will be needed.

I have the same opinion as you. He looked way off and that was always meant to happen. I dont expect him to debut at all as he is still incredibly raw and light.

Still only 19, says himself, aim is for a year at Casey , Stafford has the opportunity to build a ruckman from the ground up, a very popular guy amongst the other guys, for his enthusiasm and attitude

To be fair that's pretty much the intended purpose of the Cat B rookie list. No doubt he's extremely raw and a very long way off, but has at least played some junior footy, and the potential upside is massive. Coming from a similar background, he can look to Stef Martin for inspiration (hopefully he sticks around if/ when he comes good though).


Beef him up and then he can come back for pre season having slimmed down by 7 kegs and be right

His father was a BIG man. Give him time, he will muscle up.

Massive unit Mark. Had a beer with him once, many moon ago. It was like drinking with a wheat silo. Huge human

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
